i know it will run but how well, full graphics,reflect all etc..,

by the way for anyone with a dell with onbourd extreme graphics well i got hl2 working on it lol! with 25-30 fps no lie hehe
 
please anyone?, all i wanna know is will it run on best settings or not and what fps will i get also??
 
It will run very smooth on full details. Now stop making the rest of us feel bad.. ;)
 
c00l! thanx man i needed that lol, its funny cuz my mums dell machine with onboard graphics (intel extreme) was killing me itsa mystery i even got it to work let alone get to nova prospect lol!
 
Why in the flying hell are you getting a PCI video card?

Go AGP, i cannot stress that enough.
 
hmmm, very annoying you clearly know nothing about agp or pci when you revise on these topics then feel free to tell me im wrong.

the reason im getting pci is obviosly because the NEWER pci cards ARE faster than agp slot cards, infact a pci graphics card can be up to more than twice as fast/powerfull as a agp card of the same spec eg; pci 6600/agp 6600.

hmph!

Wrong. Modern graphics cards have only just exceeded the bandwidth transfer rate of AGP 4x, let alone 8x. It will be a long while yet before PCI Express cards/motherboards will have an advantage.
 
hmm, i have plenty of backup on this topic from the posters in the genral hl2 forum go take a look :angry:
 
Im with Axyon on this one. also at the mo. the pci-express cards use some kind of bridge on card to make them work. they did this to make graphic chips sets compatable with AGP. My 9800XT works as good on my x4 motherboard as x8.
 
Firstly spidster.. PCI graphics cards went out a long time ago, so you must be meaning PCI Express.


Secondly Axyon is right. The only reason for buying PCI Express cards at the moment is the ability to SLI the cards together.
 
i thought it was abit obvios i meant pci express lol, neway if no1 belives me then cheack the asus,geforce,ati or xfx, even pc world - they all say pci-e are faster than agp
 
Hmm. I see this thread got a little off topic. Let me derail you train of conversation and get back to the problem here. The filesystem_steam.dll. I got the same error only I wan using SDK. The error didn't kick me out or crash or anything, it just won't let me compile my map (it's annoying because the geometry plus entities are almost done). Has anyone found a solution for this problem yet?
 
Oh shoot. Now I feel like a dumb****. I responded in the wrong thread. Had two open and was in the wrong one. Nevermind what I said.
